Clearly a tank

Wild, I watched my wife playing assassins creed last night while holding the baby, this machine was in the game
Never seen it before and now twice in a row.
Damn Baader-Meinhof
Maybe you should help her with the baby so she can game.
Nah if i hold the baby while she games it's to easy for her, she needs an extra difficulty level /s
I was holding the baby. Probably could have worded it better
Probably never see it again either
I've seen this thing at least 500 times in my life, not sure how folks haven't seen it as many times. Did you all not spend hours pouring over Da Vinci's drawings as a kid? As a teen? As a young adult? Yesterday?
Nah, but i did buy a cool book you might be interested in if you like that kind of thing.

The books all illustrated on different survival things.
I bought it and inscribed it for my son hoping he learns from it but never needs it.
Given a translator, can you even imagine Leonardo da Vinci and Hideo Kojima in a room together?
A weapon to surpass Metal Gear...
No, because Da Vinci died in 1519, whereas Kojima was born in 1963.
Yeah, hence "a translator". You didn't think I meant from Renaissance-era Italian to modern Japanese, did you? No one person could probably do that. I meant a translator from this plane to the next.
My dude the other guy was being facetious......
Leonardo's was literally just running a copy of Besiege 24/7 in his brain, wasn't he?
Was genuinely fun to drive and use on Assassin's Creed.
That's how ship cannons worked too, at the time. Powerful but heavy to move, slow to reload, not very accurate.... having more of them was the only way to have sustained firepower.
But Leonardo also left a lot of these sketches that look less like actual projects and more like the superhero fantasies of an extremely gifted six years old. "And look, this shit has cannons... Cannons EVERYWHERE! Bam! Kapow!". I guess it's what happens when you're so great at drawing that even the doodles you do when bored look like masterpieces.
They used muzzle loaded cannons at his time, so it makes sense. It's not only for direction, but for faster rate of fire.
Yeah, he designed these things for Sforza because designing war machines pays money.
Thank you now I understand I thought he liked slaughter?
Its possible he did. People had different sensibilities 500 years ago.
Stupid is what it is, there isn't enough room for ammo or to physically reload all those cannons. what a rube
No don't do this. You're giving gaijin ideas.
It'll be the next tank on Warthunder, under the Italian tech tree.
If only we could have gotten Da Vinci and the Hussites together in order to build a wooden mech covered in cannons.
Imagine paying for a weapon design only to end up with two incomplete designs and one being a stupid flying thing that will never work and a bunch of naked people pictures that are at least finished, but kind of useless because doctors continued to just poison people anyway
He is one of my favorite historical figures, but he must have been absolutely infuriating to deal with.

I too have dozens of unfinished projects, so me and Leo are basically the same. /s
